    "content": "Why has the Government not seen it fit to come up with a policy of implementing the 1997 teachers’ pay deal, given the important part that teachers play in the country? Why did the Government deem it fit to wait for a special Cabinet session to get Kshs13 billion to pay teachers, instead factoring the increment into the annual Budget Estimates over the years? Why can the Government not bring a Supplementary Budget to provide for the teachers’ deal? Can they explain why funds that have been returned to Treasury cannot be used to pay the teachers? Teachers have, indeed, been taken for a ride. It is high time that the Government addresses this matter with urgency, so that students can get back to school. Teachers need to be listened to but the Government seems to be sleeping on the job."
